This Collings OM is in fantastic condition. A few marks of love from play and handling over the past 25 years. This 1997 option is delicate and straight forward in looks and sound. The Sitka Spruce top is incredible and reflective, it is paired with a beautiful set of Mahogany. The tone wood combination provides a soft and directed sound that articulates well and keeps up with other instruments. This guitar is balanced through and through and feels wonderful to sit and play for hours. This earlier model from Collings is aged and resonant as well as beautiful with the Dalmatian Pickguard and fine choice woods.

"OM' stands for "Orchestra Model," but 80 years after this body shape was first designed ithas become the most popular 14-fret model with fingerstyle guitar soloists who choose to play onsteel strings. Yet flatpickers also find it appealing, and when the graceful cutaway is added theseOMs are often used by lead players who routinely explore all 20 frets much as they would on an electric guitar. The compact shape makes the Collings OM equally easy to handle onstage or when sitting on the couch, and the relatively shallow body (barely over 4 inches deep) results in balanced tone and an immediate response." -Collings

Comes with a black hard shell case
